As a test (during daylight hours), log into the camera web UI and navigate to SETUP > Day/Night Mode and set the camera to Always Day Mode and press Save Settings. Does the image look normal?

The image you posted looks like the camera is in night mode but the IR illuminators aren't activated.

That would do it. You should have said up front that you performed that mod.  ;)

Surely NO ONE could have guessed that the mod was the cause of this weird image!
BTW, I'm wondering if the cap was placed on the proper points, or in inverted polarity  ...

A hardware mod followed shortly by that very strange video artifact would have strongly suggested a causal relationship. That imagery was way outside of the realm of anything I've seen from these cameras.  :-\
